Abstracting home video automatically
Rainer W. Lienhart · 1999
In this paper, we present new algorithms for generating amusing, visually appealing and variable video abstracts of home video material automatically.The algorithms make use of a new, empirically motivated approach to cluster time-stamped shots hierachically into meaningful units.Moreover, our algorithms are not restricted to home video but can also be applied to raw video footage in general.1.1
